New Everton Manager

[KaiserEFC]

lol at anyone who thinks this means anything.

It means more anti football and zero entertainment.

I'm sorry, but we were comfortably the worst team to watch last season. Wolves were crap because they didn't adequately replace key players and other teams started figuring our their systems.

I’m assuming you didn’t watch many of their games mate, they were properly ugly to watch

 

[Carloblues]

If it happens it happens, we've went for the best out there in Carlo and genuinely experienced the worst football I've ever seen in my lifetime so willing to give him a chance.

Propa wanted the Lille manager though me

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Meh appointment, but he will have my support

Saying that Serie A is all counter attacking is like saying La Liga is all Tiki Taka and England is all pressing.

It isnt...there are multiple strategies...

Nuno is like Pep in a way or Martinez. He sticks to the same football style...the difference being he needs the opponent to make more mistakes than his team and hes ultra negative.

Ancelotti played three distinct styles last season...at the start and then changed it to ultra defensive when digne was out amongst others..and then tried a mix which didnt work.

Now with a summer and a promise of more attacking excitement Ancelotti could aim for the first style again.

In 4 years Nuno has not changed.

Theres your key differentiator.

It largely was in the 90s mate, the majority was counter attacking. Obviously variations to that, but i used to watch it week in and week out. Grreat era and great players, but the football was of its time. Of course today its different and their is a bit more variance to it.

I definitely dont agree with you on Nuno, of course a manager have a philosophy, but i dont think you've watched Wolves enough if you think he is ultra negative. Ultra negative would be Burnley, Wolves certainly weren't that. Someone like Potter plays it far more safe then Nuno, i honestly dont agree with any of your take here.

On variance if you talk to Wolves they will tell you the difficulty they had last season was because Nuno tried to vary things to much and you can see that he has played different systems at the different clubs he has been at. I thik hes on record saying that systems are secondary beyond culture, philosophy and values - i tend to agree with him.

I think you are giving Carlo a little bit more credit then he deserves, arguably we got found out after the first 5-10 games, he varied it and went with containment - or ultra defensive because he went pragmatic and needed results, i think he lost his way in the second half of the season, e had no identity and he never found an answer he didn't know if wanted Everton to be an attacking team of a defensive team and i dont thik that indecision helped us at all. Just because it was "Carlo", he played some awful stuff here, stuff you are accusing Nuno off who hasnt had an Everton game yet. I dont think Carlo criticism is beyond criticism or you have to talk about him as oracle or diety, im not sure he had a long term plan if im being very honest - so i dont know where the summer of promise was coming from.

We our poles apart in our opinions here and likely our lived experience of both Nuno, Wolves, Carlo and Everton last season. all good mind,

I thought he was home-sick though ?
How can moving 100 miles further away from them fix that?

His teams don’t cover ground. Goodison demands that Everton teams run.

His teams don’t create chances. Goodison demands that Everton teams create chances.

He doesn’t change it when it’s going poorly. We demand change when it goes poorly.

Disastrous, this

We finished on the same points as Leeds and look at the difference between us, It's an absolutely pointless stat.

He's working with no Neto and Jiminez, Traore couldn't finish his dinner and lets not get started on that young lad, I'd rather have Niasse.

Ancelotti got slaughtered for changing it too much!

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Nuno has managed three clubs and each one he left in a better state than when he started. That is not what you can say about the other appointments

But it is what we could say about the other options and possibilities.
Ok, maybe Conte wouldn’t join us after taking Inter to winning Serie A and breaking Juve dominance but Galtier would’ve been an option surely and he’s just made Lille champions of France, way better than the 17th place he found them in!

 

[marnie]

I can see this being a very short tenure.

They went on an 8 game winless run last season. In that time, Santo tried 7 different formations.

A clueless idiot.

 

[Papa Shango]

So our shortlist was literally Nuno or Moyes.

We deserve everything we get, we really do.

Moyes was not on the shortlist!

He wasn't on it last time either.

Basically Silva with a beard

That's the spirit! He hasn't even signed yet!

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

I think he’s appointed more because of his ability to build team spirit than his tactical acumen tbh

You just said he doesn't change it when it goes poorly?!
